(or as I call it, lead-kopper99 😀)

Do you believe it's a hoax? Or real but not entirely as good as promised?

I am 5050 on it being real ATM, I hope it will allow us to find even new elements with interesting characteristics. Science really is like magic, but real.

The fact big labs are replicating and still haven't disproved it makes LK99 more likely to be real - a disproval would take longer and carry lesser reputation cost if they get it wrong (higher rep cost if they confirm LK99 is working and turns out it isn't)
